Chapter 5 Differences in Orientation

If he hadn't drank enough wine before and the atmosphere was frank enough, he probably wouldn't have been able to tell his dream so calmly and resolutely.

For ordinary people, this goal is no longer "somewhat high" and can even be labeled as "unrealistic".

It is not that there are no people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places in China who have achieved similar achievements.

But who are those people? Almost all of them are beings who have already been carried to the altar for worship, right?

For example, Jin Daxia, such as Gu Daxia...

If we push the time forward, we can also include Luo Guanzhong, Wu Chengen, Shi Naian...

Even comparing it to Aunt Qiong Yao is a bit forced. After all, there is basically no possibility of adapting her works into games, right?

Moreover, listening to the tone of this fat otaku, it seems that he is not satisfied with only being an author, but also participates in the creative work of different carriers and platforms in other capacities? Even Luo Guanzhong, Wu Chengen, Shi Naian, Jin Daxia, and Gu Daxia are only known as

Are you going to create as an author? Well, Gu Daxia is a bit of an exception. After all, he has adapted some novels into film and television scripts.

In this regard, Aunt Qiong Yao is even better. She is the author, screenwriter, and lyricist. As I said just now, it is a pity that her works basically do not touch the game field.

Jin Daxia has many identities, including a writer, journalist, entrepreneur, critic, and social activist. Unfortunately, the latter few identities are not directly related to "cross-carrier and cross-platform cultural products."

In this way, Yuki Tomino is really the closest to this goal - his identity is there, director, producer, screenwriter, and writer.

And the fat nerd in front of him, a small copywriter with zero days of experience in the industry, actually said with a shy face that his target is Tomino Yuki?

After Liu Kewei and Che Guanglong understood Fatty Zhai's declaration about dreams just now, they were all gone.

I was woken up by fright.

This dream is really too big. In their more than 20 years of life, they have never had this kind of ambition, not even once.

Is this the difference in ideological realm between the 20th and 30th generations?

After the fat man finished speaking, there was a silence for several minutes.

Seeing the strange looks in the eyes of his two colleagues and roommates, Fatty Zhai gradually regretted it. He just wanted to tell his true feelings honestly, but now he seems to be regarded as a braggart, right?

"Well," the fat man lowered his head and shook his head, "Am I a little drunk? That's it for today."

The three of them stood up, went downstairs, and rushed to the counter to check out. This is also one of the typical manifestations of traditional Chinese dining table culture, right?

In the end, Che Guanglong, who first suggested going out to eat, won the right to pay the bill.

————————The first time we met, I was the dividing line————————

The fat man frowned and stared at the monitor. He had been in this position for half an hour.

This is his first official day on the job.

Some things seem to be different from what he thought...

For example, this - "main plot".

He glanced sideways at Liu Kewei. This guy didn't look at the girls from Thigh Generation or Girls' Generation today. He looked like they were writing some documents.

It seems to be busy, what should I do?

But unless this problem is solved, he will not be able to start working.

He scratched his head and waited patiently. How could a guy who smoked two packs of cigarettes a day not get up from his chair?

Ten minutes later, Liu Kewei finally stood up.

"Lao Liu, why don't you get one?" Fatty Zhai asked hurriedly.

"Let's go." Liu Kewei was stunned and readily agreed.

Fortunately I can smoke, the fat man muttered in his heart.

Liu Kewei led the fat man to the activity room and came to the small room where he had an interview with HR Manager Bing yesterday. He took out an ashtray from under the table that was exactly the same as the one in the conference room and placed it on the table.

"By the way, this is our second smoking room, and the conference room is the first. If people are using both places, they have to go to the stairs to smoke." Liu Kewei made a joke casually.

"Well, I just want to ask," Fatty Zhai decided to get to the topic quickly. After all, he hasn't had a cigarette for a long time. "Why is there a main plot? Can it be cancelled?"

Liu Kewei was stunned for a moment, put away his smile and looked at the fat man, "You don't want to write a plot?"

The fat man shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't want to write a plot, but I think it might be better if it doesn't need a main plot."

"Why?" Liu Kewei asked.

"I see that in the production outline you gave me, the requirement for the main plot is that from level 1 to full level, the main plot must always remain on the protagonist's task list. If you submit a task once, you will automatically receive the next one?"

"That's right"

Fatty Zhai continued: "It is also required that it must start from the first area of ​​the first scene and go through every area of ​​every scene?"

"Is such that."

"Don't you think there is no openness and freedom in this way?" Fatty Zhai breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he could convince the other party to agree with his idea.

Liu Kewei took out a box of hard Chinese, took one in his mouth, and threw one to the fat man, "Even if there is really no openness and freedom, why do we need those things?"

"Without openness and freedom, how can it be considered a good game?" Fatty Zhai shouted anxiously.

"Who told you that a game without openness and freedom is not a good game?" Liu Kewei laughed cheerfully, "You know World of Warcraft, right? Its missions are like this one after another, running through every area of ​​the map.

Do you think World of Warcraft is not a good game?”

"First of all, our project production outline has requirements for the proportion of the main plot and branch plots. The main plot is much higher than the branch plots, so it is different from World of Warcraft. There are so many side quests in World of Warcraft. You can just go to a map that matches the level.

We can take on a bunch of missions and complete them. But our plan for the number of side missions is far from enough." Fatty Zhai continued to argue while suppressing his temper, "Secondly, I personally am not interested in World of Warcraft."

“The audiences are different,” Liu Kewei said straightforwardly. “To paraphrase what Director Xu often said, most domestic players don’t like to make choices and are not used to using their own brains to think about it, so we must arrange what they are doing now and what they will do next.

What are you doing here? The gaming habits of foreign players are completely different."

"how do you know?"

"Lord of the Rings OL is a typical example," Liu Kewei patted the fat man on the shoulder to express comfort. "Why is it that no one plays this popular game in China? One of the reasons is that all the players who don't know what to do are lost.

.This is the answer of domestic players to "good games" with strong openness and freedom. Accept the reality, the boss's purpose of making games is to make money, not to make good games. This is different from what you think.

. But he is the one who has the final say, so you have to learn to play the game as well as possible in the direction he requires, that’s it.”

The fat man was silent. He was not convinced, but he understood that he was powerless in speaking.

"Let's be clear, let alone you and me, even Manager Wang and Chief Xu are not allowed to cater to the opinions of investors? Even investors are not allowed to cater to the mainstream orientation of the audience? When everyone else is wrong and you are the only one who is right, you

You should understand that it is you who are at fault, not others." Liu Kewei stretched his waist, stretched his limbs, and continued, "By the way, you said you don't like World of Warcraft? What type of online games do you like?

"

Fatty Zhai thought for a while and gave two examples: "The King of Kings and the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven."

Liu Kewei was amused, "One has been dead for many years, and the other has died once, and is still struggling half-deadly?"

Fatty Zhai wanted to refute, but he knew that what Liu Kewei said was actually the truth, but he just didn't want to accept it.

In the end, nothing was said.

"Let's talk about the Sixth Heaven Demon King. Is it the one you played yesterday?" Liu Kewei lit a second cigarette, "Just think of it as a casual chat. What is it about this game that attracts you? Or in other words, it

What aspects can bring you emotions such as happiness or a sense of accomplishment?”

"The sense of accomplishment when fighting a powerful king," Zhai Fatty thought, "needs to be familiar with each monster's skills, determine the order of target fire output, and predict what monsters will be based on the length of the skill animation progress bar.

The skills to use, etc... Otherwise, you won’t be able to win.”

"It sounds very complicated. Many players will definitely not be able to do it well. Frustration will cause players to lose." Liu Kewei raised his right index finger and said, "Continue."

Fatty Zhai pondered, trying to recall all the experiences he had while playing the game: "It pays attention to professional cooperation, and the team has a clear division of labor. The most common team combination is double shields, one recovery, one auxiliary, and three outputs. Without any of them, it won't work."

"There are always incomplete teams or extra people, right? Can these people just wait in a daze? It will definitely cause a loss of players." Liu Kewei raised the middle finger of his right hand again, "Are there any more? Let's continue.

"

"When you can't gather a full team, you can double-open and open more!" Fatty Zhai couldn't help but retort.

"Double-opening and multiple-opening itself will put operational pressure on players, and what should we do if some people are unwilling, unable or unwilling to double-open and multiple-open?" Liu Kewei shook his head completely unmoved, "Is there anything else? Continue.

explain."

Fatty Zhai racked his brains to think, and after a while he gave another answer: "I am familiar with the distribution of the maze roads. In a dungeon without radar maps, it is also very fulfilling to lead the team as a tour guide."

"Hahaha!" Liu Kewei couldn't help but clapped his hands and laughed, "There are those who are familiar with the map, and there are naturally those who are not familiar with the map. I'm afraid there are more of the latter? What should they do? They are running around in the maze,

Did the mission fail when the time is up?"

"Because you don't know the way, it will definitely lead to the loss of players." Liu Kewei raised three fingers and waved them in front of Fatty Zhai, "Did you find out? There are three aspects that make you feel happy or have a sense of accomplishment. In fact, they all do.

This causes the loss of players to varying degrees. You are a high-end niche player, and your happiness is based on the pain of more people. Your gaming orientation conflicts with mainstream players. I don’t claim that the games you like are

It’s not a good game, but it’s destined to be a niche game.”
